Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for 2008 Dodge Caliber
Question:
I was looking at the tow hitch for my 2008 Dodge Caliber. I want to know if it comes with the hardware and receiver as well. Plus I would need the wiring harness for it. Can you please let me know when you can? Thanks

The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24769 is the trailer hitch receiver I recommend for your 2008 Dodge Caliber. I've attached a video of this simple bolt on installation for you. All the installation hardware is included with the hitch.
For your wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118552 which will connect behind your tail lights and give you a 4-way trailer connector. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the provided fuse.
For a ball mount, I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches - 5/8" Rise - 9-3/4" Long - 2,000 lbs # 3591. This will come with a pin and clip needed. You will also want a hitch ball like # 19258 for a 2 inch diameter or # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter ball.
